Stephen, The reference to "ProgDir:" in ProWrite is utilizing a new feature in AmigaDOS 2.0. Under that new version of the system, any reference to "ProgDir:" is automatically referenced to the location the program was loaded from. This is a simpler and more reliable mechanism than what must be done under AmigaDOS 1.3, so we use it if we can. You should _not_ change the references in the program from "ProgDir:" to "ProWrite:" as this will defeat this feature (unless you also assign "ProWrite:" to the home directory of the program. The "ProgDir:" feature of the OS was not working properly in versions of the system prior to 2.04, so we only use it if you are using a 2.04 (or later) system. I have no idea why it is not working for you, unless you haven't done a complete upgrade to 2.04 (i.e. ROMs _and_ Workbench files). At what point are you getting requests for the "ProgDir:"?
